Cable FROM/TO Report - Problems with FAN IN/ FAN OUT, series of cables

Anonymous · ‎03-06-2019

PIN(LOC1)-FANOUT--CBL1(LOC1)----FANIN-TS1(LOC1)-FANIN----CBL2(LOC2)----FANOUT-TS2(LOC3)-FANIN----CBL3(LOC3)--FANOUT-PIN(LOC3)

Above I am trying to illustrate the problem I'm having with what shows in Cable FROM/TO Reports.

When CBL2 is marked as a cable it is over taking CBL3; CBL3 is not showing up. When I remove CBL2 marker, leaving the fan in/out wires intact, CBL3 is restored.

When I remove CBL2 as fan in/out and replace with simple wire/CBL2 as the cable marker, it works as expected.

I guess it comes to my use of fan in/out causing the issue? Any ideas?

A graphical example would be more helpful here...

You can see here that "CBL2" is absorbed in "CBL3". I expect that CBL2 should appear on the 2nd line of the Cable From/To:

Are those terminals changing the wire number?

No, originally the wires were not numbered. I tried automatic renumber to name them "WIRE1". Still the same thing going on.

What @rhesusminus was asking is are both the terminals the type that forces a wire number change as the wire passes through.

If the TS2 terminal is one that passes the wire number through, it may be passing the CBL3 number back to CBL2 and over ruling the CBL2 number.

Visually they look the same but the block name used indicates if the wire number changes or not.

HT0003 passes the wire number through the terminal

HT1003 forces a wire number change.

In this case, you need TS2 to be a HT1003 block.
